Revoke a registration

How to apply if you no longer want an establishment to be export registered.

  • Establishment
  • Application
  • Account

If you no longer want to export prescribed goods from your registered establishment, you must revoke its registration and approved arrangement (if it has one).

Use this application if you will:

  • stop exporting prescribed goods from a registered establishment, or
  • close a registered establishment completely.

You will need to provide your reasons for revoking the registration and the date to revoke it.

Apply online

Follow the steps to revoke an establishment’s registration:

  1. Sign in to your Export Service account.
  2. Go to 'Businesses' and select the business.
  3. Select ‘Establishments’ or 'Manage establishments'.
  4. Go to ‘Your establishments’ and select the establishment.
  5. Select the 'Export operations' tab.
  6. Select ‘Revoke registration or revoke and nominate a new occupier’.
  7. Select ‘The establishment is ceasing export operations’.
  8. Complete and submit the application.

You will need to provide your contact details or someone else’s for your application. This person must be listed in the registered establishment’s management or control.

Change an establishment’s owner

Use the same application if someone else plans to register this establishment after you revoke it.

An example of this is if you sell the establishment in the same location to a new business or owner.

On the first screen of the application select, ‘The establishment will be sold to a new occupier’.

For more information, go to Revoke a registration and add a new occupier.

Update an ABN

Use the same application if there’s an update to your ABN.

On the first screen of the application, select ‘To make an administrative update to the Australian Business Number (ABN)’.

Follow the steps to revoke the registration and register the establishment as a new occupier.

For more information, go to Update an ABN.

Change an establishment’s location

When a registered establishment moves to a new location, you must revoke the registration and register a new establishment.

You can’t transfer an establishment’s registration to a new physical location. This applies even if the business doesn’t otherwise change.

For more information, go to Change a location.
